Sometimes

Sometimes the days just get too busy, and things get so rushed. We get tired, cranky, overwhelmed. Often we just chug through, because we know it will pass even if it sucks in the moment. Sometimes though I make the executive decision to let Gwen sleep, knowing she'll be a little late to school, but knowing too that her mental and physical health are more important then one hour of missed school. So she sleeps in, for the first time in ages, then we eat breakfast together on the porch with no rush.

The days are still too full, there's still so much to do, but for just a few moments, we slow down and take the time to just be together. And sometimes that's enough. 💜
